BY STEPHEN ANDREWS At Wycliffe’s recent Theology Pub Night on August 30, I was gratified when someone asked me if I was a student at Wycliffe College. I am often mistaken for a younger person, which I think I owe to my genes, but which my wife suspects may also have something to do with my behaviour. The hard-to-believe truth, however, is that this month marks the fortieth year since I began my formal theological training.

My wife does have a point. I suppose that by now I should be feeling a bit old and grumpy. But as the new academic year dawns and I see students begin to assemble, I recall what a thrill and a privilege it was to study at the feet of well-known theological thinkers and to make friends with others who were passionate about knowing God. It is a thrill that has never left me. I still get excited when discussion turns to theology. Like our last Theology Pub Night, where nearly a hundred gathered at the College to hear two well-known pastors talk about the public controversy over their theological differences.
